Why choose I Dig Drains and Water Mains? We provide rapid, reliable drainage solutions across Cheshire. From emergency unblocking and CCTV surveys to expert pipe repairs, we are the local team you can trust.

Clear signs your drainage needs expert attention

How do you know if it is a simple clog or a major emergency? Sometimes it starts with a strange gurgling sound when you pull the plug, or maybe you've noticed a nasty odour lingering near the manhole cover. If your external gullies are overflowing or the toilet water level is sitting higher than usual, it is time to call in the professionals. Ignoring these little warnings can lead to messy flooding and even structural damage to your property. We have seen it all, from pipes choked with cooking fat to stubborn tree roots that have found their way into a joint. Whatever the cause, our Northwich-based drainage engineers have the tools and the experience to diagnose the issue in minutes.

Powerful water jetting for the toughest blockages

Traditional drain rods have their place, but for a truly deep clean, nothing beats high-pressure water jetting. We use specialised equipment that blasts water through your pipes at incredible pressure, stripping away years of scale, grease, and those infamous 'fatbergs' that cause so much trouble. It is not just about clearing the blockage; it is about restoring the full diameter of your pipe to prevent the problem from coming back next month. Our engineers are WJA (Water Jetting Association) certified, meaning we know exactly how to use this power safely without damaging your drainage system. It is the most effective, chemical-free way to get your drains back to peak performance.

Seeing the problem clearly with CCTV surveys

Why guess what is happening underground when we can show you? If you have a recurring blockage that keeps returning every few weeks, there is likely an underlying issue like a cracked pipe or root intrusion. Our state-of-the-art CCTV drain surveys allow us to send a high-definition camera right into the heart of your drainage system. We provide you with clear footage and a detailed report, so you can see exactly what is going on. This is also a vital service for anyone buying a new home in Northwich. A pre-purchase survey ensures you aren't inheriting a costly drainage disaster along with your new house keys.

Smart repairs using no-dig technology

The thought of a digger turning up to rip up your driveway is enough to make any homeowner nervous. Thankfully, we can fix most damaged pipes using modern no-dig lining techniques. We insert a resin-impregnated liner into the broken pipe, which hardens to form a tough, seamless new pipe within the old one. It is faster, much less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we are fully equipped to handle a professional excavation and reinstatement too. Whether it is a simple patch repair or a full-scale replacement, we ensure everything is back to normal with minimal fuss.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our drainage and water main services in Cheshire

How much does it cost for drain unblocking in Macclesfield?

+

The price usually depends on how bad the block is and what tools we need to use. We always give you a clear, upfront quote before we start any work, so there are no nasty surprises when the job is done.

What are the signs that I need emergency drain clearance?

+

If water is backing up into your house, your toilets won't flush, or you can see sewage overflowing from a manhole outside, you need to call us straight away. These issues can cause damage and are a health risk, so they need fixing fast.

Who is responsible for fixing a blocked drain?

+

Usually, you are responsible for the drains inside your property boundary that only serve your house. If a pipe is shared with a neighbour or is outside your boundary, it often falls under the local water company, like United Utilities. If you aren't sure, we can help you figure it out during an inspection.

Can you fix a drain without digging up my driveway?

+

In many cases, yes. We use patch lining and full-length relining to fix cracks and holes from the inside. This "no-dig" method is a great way to repair your drainage system without the mess and expense of traditional digging.

Why should I get a CCTV drain survey before buying a house?

+

The last thing you want after moving into a new home is a huge bill for a collapsed drain. A survey lets you see the condition of the pipes before you sign the contract. If there are problems, you can ask the seller to fix them or lower the price.

How do I stop my drains from blocking again?

+

The best way is to be careful about what goes down them. Avoid pouring fat or oil down the sink, and never flush wet wipes or nappies. Regular maintenance, like a quick water jetting every few years, also helps keep everything running smoothly.
